How TigerIdentity Helps

Identity Discovery

Automatically discover every identity, service account, API key, and entitlement in the acquired organization. Build a complete inventory before integration begins.

Policy Harmonization

Analyze access policies from both organizations side by side. Identify conflicts, gaps, and redundancies. Generate a unified policy set for the merged entity.

Unified Governance During Integration

Apply consistent governance controls across both organizations from day one of the merger. Enforce baseline security standards while integration proceeds.

Pre-Close Risk Assessment

Evaluate the identity security posture of acquisition targets before closing. Identify orphaned accounts, excessive privileges, and compliance gaps early.

Integration Progress Tracking

Monitor identity integration progress with clear metrics. Track policy alignment, account consolidation, and governance coverage across the merged organization.

Identity Governance Across M&A Phases

2

Day-1 Integration

Apply baseline governance controls, establish cross-org visibility, and begin policy harmonization.

3

Full Consolidation

Unify identity infrastructure, consolidate policies, and establish single governance across the merged entity.
